Surfactant-free stable SnS2 nanoparticles dispersion for deposition of device-quality films
摘要： Tin sulfide (SnS2) has recently attracted considerable attention due to its layered structure that may form two dimensional morphologies. It is an n-type semiconductor with band gap and electron affinity similar to CdS and In2S3; therefore can be regarded as an alternative for these materials in thin film solar cells. Here, we synthesis of SnS2 nanoparticles with different morphology in different ratio of water-ethanol mixed solution by solvothermal method, and observe that more ethanol leads to large sheet like morphologies, while water based synthesis results in very small nanosheets. A challenge in wet deposition of device-quality thin films of SnS2 is the requirement for highly dispersed particles/sheets. We found highly polar dimethylformamide (DMF) as the right dispersing medium, yielding highly stable dispersions. Very uniform nanocrystalline thin films with [001] preferred orientation and good adhesion to substrate are simply deposited by drop casting and spin coating a 0.5 wt% DMF sol of SnS2 at 2000 rpm for 1 min. Electron affinity and band gap of the films are 4.33 eV and 2.27 eV, which is well aligned for copper indium gallium sulfo-selenide (CIGS) solar cells.

Role of Morphology of Surfactant-Free Nanoparticles in Organic Photovoltaics
摘要： Nanoparticulate (NP) ?lms and organic photovoltaic devices have been fabricated from poly(3-hexylthiophene):phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PC61BM) NP aqueous dispersions prepared by the precipitation method. The NP inks were stable for more than 4 days, and nanoparticle organic photovoltaic (NP-OPV) devices with ef?ciency (g) of 1% were fabricated. Detailed analysis of the morphology and performance of the precipitated NP-OPV devices indicated that an optimal blend is responsible for the photocurrent and ef?ciency observed. These results were con?rmed by grazing-incidence x-ray diffraction (GIXRD) analysis, which revealed that the precipitated NPs were resistant to thermal phase segregation, allowing thermal conditioning of the NP ?lms. These results show that precipitated NPs provide a pathway to thermally stable NP-OPV devices with higher photocurrents and ef?ciencies, approaching those of optimal bulk heterojunction (BHJ) OPV devices.

Light-controlled two-dimensional TiO <sub/>2</sub> plate micromotors
摘要： In this work, UV light-controlled two-dimensional (2D) TiO2 plate micromotors are demonstrated for the first time. The 2D TiO2 micromotors are produced by the well-known anodic oxidation method in combination with a cracking and separation process. When the motor is placed in H2O2 aqueous solution under UV irradiation, oxygen bubbles are generated in the holes of the TiO2 membrane. The 2D micromotor thus moves upon O2 bubbles under its own weight. In contrast to bubble-propelled micromotors, which require an addition of surfactants to chemical fuels, the 2D micromotor is capable of moving in aqueous H2O2 solution without surfactants. Moreover, speed of the 2D TiO2 micromotor can be controlled by the intensity of the UV light. Such surfactant-free micromotors and their facile fabrication hold considerable promise for diverse practical applications in the biomedical and energy fields, for example, and in new materials.
